SOUNDBITES OF:

-MANDY, COLOURIST AT BERLUTI:

"We had the training, we're used to it and we're supposed to be prepared to do it well and we pay a lot of attention to getting it right".

"The most difficult thing is the transition of the colours, to get to red, blue and black you have to go through several stages, there needs to be a good transition so that it ends in a nice fade".

-BRICE GUYART, FRENCH FENCER WHO WON TWO GOLD MEDALS (2000 AND 2004):

"Maison Berluti is synonymous with excellence and French savoir faire, with elegance. It will enable the French delegation to be at the highest level to welcome the world and, at the same time, make us look more beautiful."
